“Us” offers no easy answers, but indicts us all.



It's one thing for a movie to humble you by leaving you unsure about yourself and your place in the world; it's another for it to leave you wondering what, exactly, a filmmaker is trying to use his formidable verbal and visual vocabulary to say.

Peele develops a genuinely thrilling, heart-in-the-throat-scary horror picture.

Every element in this film serves a purpose and is set up like a chess move, from the soundtrack to the detailed production values. (Be sure to check out the old VHS tapes in a flashback sequence).

I love the performances, but I'm just not super sold on the script, to be honest... I'm really ready for [Jordan Peele] to be his own voice now.

A sharp, often funny meditation on the terrifying power of human connection.

When you are watching a Jordan Peele movie from now on, you will know you are in good hands and thus he has turned into an event director...

Peele crafts a story that sucks us into a waking nightmare, and along the way it touches on such weighty themes such as economic disparity, nature vs. nurture, and our propensity for self-destruction.

Once again, Jordan Peele offers a thought-provoking, deeply layered, and incredibly suspenseful narrative.

A devastating critique of the American Dream with indelible performances by Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke and Elisabeth Moss.
